Insulin-resistant individuals exhibit ultrastructural abnormalities in mitochondrial morphology and reductions in mitochondrial mass.
Understanding mitochondrial abnormalities can inform treatment strategies for insulin resistance.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Several studies have reported ultrastructural abnormalities in mitochondrial morphology and reductions in mitochondrial mass in insulin-resistant individuals.
Why this rating
The claim is supported by several studies as mentioned in the abstract.

- Athletes aiming to reduce fat mass and preserve FFM should consume protein intakes in the range of ∼1.8-2.7 g kg(-1) d(-1).Strong
- A minimum daily protein intake of ≥1.6 g/kg is necessary to observe significant improvements in muscle mass from whey protein supplementation.Strong
- Most athletes ideally need 1.2 to 2.0 grams/kg of body weight/day of protein, preferably split across 3-4 meals.Strong
